Tap the Hilltop

Tap the Hilltop is a student-run campaign that aims to transform our university into a bottled water-free campus. The goal is to decrease the sale of bottled water on campus by educating our community on both the environmental and health repercussions of plastic water bottle consumption. Students for Sustainability launched Tap the Hilltop as a part of Food and Water Watch's national campaign. Get involved with the campaign by:

Liking our Facebook page to stay in the loop on important events such as film screenings, talks and educational activities.

Acting as a model to your colleagues, classmates and friends by choosing tap over bottled water.

Helping educate the community on how our habits affect the world around us.
